UK and allies condemn cyber activity by Russian intelligence services

Britain said it had joined the European Union, Germany and other allies in strongly condemning cyber activity by the Russian intelligence services, the British foreign ministry said in a statement on Friday.

"Recent activity by Russian GRU cyber group APT28, including the targeting of the German Social Democratic Party executive, is the latest in a known pattern of behaviour by the Russian Intelligence Services to undermine democratic processes across the globe," a British government spokesperson said.
